Terrible first hour, mostly beacuse he started David as AM.

Individual brilliance from subs saved his ass.

We lack a broder gameplan. Everything we do is quite predictable and Parma were ready.

Stronger opposition will easily stop us if he doesn't figure something out.

positivities
  • ditched back three
  • Luiz is finding his form game by game
  • benched Canbeasshole
negativities
  • midfield is a pile of shit, what they mostly do is pass sideways, zero tempo control or dictation
  • our threats mainly come from wide players cutting inside or making cross which makes our offense too predictable
  • we have no proper set piece taker in this team and that stupid 2 men corner kick should stop

I am not sure if any of this is true, but the are rising rumors over managerial disputes:

⚠️ According to Nicolò Schira, negotiations for Franck Kessié are completely blocked with little to no hope of recovery.

But behind this failed transfer lies a much bigger story: growing friction between Luciano Spalletti and Frederic Massara.

Here is the complete breakdown of everything happening behind the scenes:

Franck Kessié: Juve’s Offer €4M net + €0.5M in bonuses (tied to Champions League qualification) on a 2-year contract with an option for a 3rd.

Kessié’s Demands: €6M net per season, at least a €5M signing-on bonus, plus astronomical commission fees requested by his agent, George Atangana.

The Verdict: Juventus considers these demands totally unacceptable and is ready to walk away. Roma made an inquiry but hasn't submitted a formal bid.

SPALLETTI VS. MASSARA: THE STRATEGY CLASH

Frustration on the Bench: Spalletti is reportedly unhappy. He was counting on #Kessié and is still waiting for the physical target man (center-forward) he specifically requested.

The Zirkzee Dilemma: Massara’s primary objective for the attack is Joshua Zirkzee, but this choice is causing further friction because #Spalletti isn't convinced he fits his tactical profile.

Unused Talents: Young striker Ekhator was brought in, but he isn't considered ready for the first team and could leave on loan.

Meanwhile, despite Juve spending €35M on young talent Kerim Alajbegovic, Spalletti currently prefers using Jeremie Boga, highlighting a clear disconnect between Massara's signings and the manager’s tactical preferences.

OTHER MARKET MOVEMENTS

Juan Miranda: Spalletti wants the fullback, but Bologna is demanding €10M PLUS Cabal, refusing a straight swap.

Offered Profiles: Both Joakim Mæhle and Emerson Palmieri have been proposed to #Juventus as alternative options.

With Massara's past history at Roma, where making transfer choices independent of the manager's wishes ultimately cost him his job, all eyes are now on how the management resolves this standoff before the deadline.

I’m one of the last people you’ll see praising Spalletti for anything this days but credit where it’s due in regards to the reintegration of Douglas Luiz and Nico Gonzalez, although forced by circumstances to count on them again it so far looks like it was the right call when considering we don’t have that many better players than them in the current squad… just deciding to test them out himself before dumping them on another loan(while keeping other worst jabronis around) is already worth a bit of a shout.
